Contrasting contribution of embryo- and postnatally-derived brain-resident macrophages in sustaining sleep-wake circuitry

This study shows that embryonic and postnatally-derived brain macrophages have distinct roles in regulating sleep-wake cycles and synaptic balance, with postnatal repopulation failing to restore normal sleep patterns.

Hypothalamic control of noradrenergic neurons stabilizes sleep

The paper investigates the role of hypocretin neurons in stabilizing sleep by examining their interaction with noradrenergic neurons.

Orexin action on the dopaminergic system modulates theta during REM sleep and wakefulness

This study investigates the role of orexin receptors in modulating theta oscillations in dopaminergic neurons during wakefulness and REM sleep, finding that OXR2 loss increases theta power and alters coupling with fast-gamma waves.

Deficient thalamo-cortical networks dynamics and sleep homeostatic processes in a redox dysregulation model relevant to schizophrenia.

This study investigates sleep and thalamo-cortical network dynamics in a mouse model of redox dysregulation linked to schizophrenia, finding disrupted sleep architecture and homeostasis.

The paternally imprinted gene Snord116 regulates cortical neuronal activity

This study investigates the role of Snord116 in regulating sleep patterns and cortical neuronal activity in a PWS mouse model, finding abnormalities in REM sleep and sleep spindles.

Dynamical modulation of theta-gamma coupling during REM sleep

This study examines theta-gamma coupling dynamics during REM sleep, showing increased coupling in subicular and cortical regions and its role in memory mechanisms.
